Powerful Image Barb. This also looks a bit dark and lacking contrast - but again, probably the effect you were after.

I can imaging a Mad Max extra in the driver's seat

Love the grittiness

Tough stuff!

Bit washed out on the LH side but I suspect you could fix that if you wanted to.

Thanks Alan and Greg

Dark and creepy, again, is the effect I wanted.
Background was removed ..... replaced with rusty metal texture, blurred and edited in nik collection colour efex pro (at that stage I was still thinking colour version) ..... wasn't happy with it so then edited in nik collection silver efex pro 2 .... this created the creepy/textured feeling (and camouflaged the poor editing around the headlights )
